That's bringin' out the really big guns! ;]

When I said material, I was thinking more generically, to include not only
the actual plastic material, but manufacturing process tweaks as well. I'm
pretty sure the main material changed at least once (poly-styrene to ABS,
was it?). But beyond that I was thinking that the formula even within ABS
has probably changed a lot over the years to improve the parts. The molding
and other manufacturing techniques certainly would have evolved, too. The
point is that the material/manufacturing side is a continual evolution,
ideally to improve product quality, but more often to reduce costs. But the
shapes, and the colours, those are basic design features. That's why I felt
mentioning the shapes was a great idea, moreso than anything to do with the
materials. Or something like that. :]

There might yet be something in that..., a comment that kids complain that
their parts no longer match. Maybe just a change of phrase from the draft?

Naw, those guys never last on TV. :]

Happy to be a nuisance! :]

There is always the possibility of multiple letters, each with its own story,
but all with the same complaint. An AFOL letter, a parent letter, a kid
letter...
